Beware

Let me start off by saying the 1 star is due to the lack of the option for 0 stars! My experience with Anthony Paul Penoso and his office was extremely negative. I found his conduct to be unprofessional and troubling He appeared at my workplace unannounced, attempting to deliver paperwork. Just... days later, he returned with additional documents alleging my employers were in contempt of court--an accusation that seemed entirely unfounded. I found his conduct to be unprofessional and troubling. After a disagreement, he filed what I believe to be a baseless injunction against me. (which was thrown out in court) What concerned me most was the apparent coordination with individuals in the same business strip to support questionable claims, including what I believe were fabricated police reports. This behavior felt harassing and manipulative. The staff at his office did not conduct themselves professionally either. Communication was poor, and the overall atmosphere was hostile. Based on my experience, I question the authenticity of many of the positive reviews posted online. I'm sharing this to help others make informed decisions. If you're considering working with this office, I strongly recommend doing thorough research and seeking legal advice if needed. After 3 long years of Mr. Penoso bullying and harassing me, it was myself and my children who won as the courts denied him and his client their "wish list."

Terrible services

I have known him most of my life and thought I was making the right decision. He has dragged my case in and out several times with empty promises. Lack of responses as well as over priced. I have put so much effort and money into my situations to come out even more upset. I am highly dissatisfied and... I will not ask for help ever again from him.

UNMATCHED!

Mr. Anthony Penoso took my child custody case/Jurisdiction case, He was diligent and took his time to really understand what was needed to be done. I felt like he took my case as if it was his own. When it came to trial the opposite party was left in silence, Anthony expelled the truth of the opposit...e parties lies and asked thorough questions! I can't stress enough how he out performed the other attorney! If your looking for an attorney whom knows the law, and where to hit the ball out of the park! Anthony Penoso is the right one!
